StackScope is a free public catalogue of indie launches. We find launches on Product Hunt, Hacker News and similar feeds, then crawl each site to detect its tech stack and score it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 2 July 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Needle is partway there, with complete legal pages and well-configured email security. What needs work: missing several security headers and no sitemap.

Launched on Product Hunt on July 2, 2026. The site is hosted on Google LLC in the United States, with a domain registered in 2022. The crawl picked up 11 technologies on this site, covering javascript library, CSS frameworks, developer tools, and DNS providers. The stack includes Tailwind CSS, TanStack Start, and GoDaddy DNS.

For context, it's running the same core stack as 141 other launches.
